The more time you spend looking for deals, the more likely you'll find one. If you browse Ebay/Craigslist/etc for a few minutes each day or visit a pawn or thrift store every few weeks, you'll eventually luck out. Browsing listings often also gives you a better idea of the average prices of many items, so you can spot a deal easier even if it isn't something you were looking for. I am keen to give garage or estate sales a look sometime since I hear it's a good place for deals as well
